Pope Blesses Youth, But Not the Ones Dodging Bombs

In a moment that was part spiritual, part subtle world news roast, Pope Leo closed the Jubilee of Youth by remembering the young people 'bloodied by war' in Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflict zones. Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where they handed out party hats and confetti for a war-torn youth shindig? So let me get this straightâthereâs a global youth celebration, but if you're dodging bullets, you're RSVP'd to the 'no-fun' list. Itâs the exact kind of blessed irony that makes you question whoâs actually on the guest list of peace.
